Final Girls: A Novel

Quincy goes through her folder, seeing recent emails from Freemont and Cole. Unlike Cole, Freemont doesn’t believe that Quincy had anything to do with her friends’ deaths, but he remains curious about what her lost memories could do to help the investigation.

Quincy also finds an email from Coop, agreeing to answer questions about Pine Cottage. She is initially disappointed, but quickly forgives him when she realizes that he was trying to protect her. Finally, she reads an email from her mother, who also offers to share what she can remember of Pine Cottage. Quincy is furious. She burns the folder. Back on the highway, she calls her mother to confront her.

Sheila is defensive, but Quincy presses on with questions about Lisa. Lisa claimed to be worried about Quincy, so Sheila told her about her work and her relationship with Jeff. Lisa also wanted to know if Quincy could remember anything about Pine Cottage. Quincy wonders why Lisa didn’t call her directly. Sheila admits her assumption that Quincy wouldn’t be honest with Lisa. Part of this assumption came from Lisa’s insistence that Quincy had recovered from her trauma sooner than the other Final Girls did.

Sheila had attempted to reach out to Quincy to tell her about Lisa, but Quincy never returned her calls.
